Jen's Diary: To 180 or Below...and Maintenance!

So, last night wasn't a complete disaster. I had a couple drinks, some cheese and crackers, and chips and dip. It was bad, but it could of been much worse I guess.

Today is going ok. I'll probably be going out to shovel at some point. We got about 6 inches of fresh snow last night. So that should be fun. Other than that I'll be writing all day. With the kids being home for winter break, I've gotten hardly any work done. I have to catch up tonight, because it's due tomorrow night. eek!

I hope everyone has a great 2013!!!! :)

Ended the day at 1363 calories. Did some shoveling, but I've mostly been writing my butt off. If only typing burned like a million calories...lol. Going to bed soon, as I can barely keep my eyes open anymore. :sleeping:
 
196.6 this morning. Almost back to where I was before the holidays! Hopefully I will get to 195 by Saturday. That would make me happy. :)


Oh, I looked up how many calories typing burned for shits and giggles. According to Fitday... for a person my height and weight ... 35 calories per hour. Here's what I want to know... It's funny and all, but do people actually count that as exercise?!?! If so, I'm an exercising fool, and exercised for like 10 hours yesterday! hahaha!

I think the calorie burn for typing depends a lot on how often you use 'Q's and 'backspace.' That extra extension of the pinky revs up the calorie burn. Until you get in good shape, those 'F12's will really wear you out.

*gasp* I do backspace a lot! I'll be bikini ready in no time.... or have really muscular pinkies? hahaha!
 
Ended the day at 1465 calories. Just finished working a few minutes ago. Tomorrow I am taking the day off from work! yay! :D

Tomorrow's goal is to do the treadmill!
 
Holy freaking hell.... I am tired. I got done working at 3am last night, which was REALLY late for me. Then I put the laptop up and went to bed, and was up for another hour and a half. So I went to sleep around 4:30am.... and THEN... I was up by 7:30am. So, that's a whole 3 hours of sleep. I feel like a zombie right now. I am SO taking a nap later. lol!

I'm not sure if the treadmill will be before or after the nap, but I'm still doing it today!

Guess who just did the treadmill???.........That's right... this girl!!!

Things I remembered after doing the treadmill for 45 minutes....

• A treadmill minute is at least 10 times as long as a normal minute..lol.
• I need new shoes.
• I need a new mp3 player..mine sucks.
• I have a LOT more energy than I did 50lbs ago.
• While exercising sucks, you feel really effing awesome when you're done! yeeeeeah!

Way to go Jen! You got the jump on me. I'm under the weather at the moment but I'll catch up soon.
 
Congrats on the treadmill workout. Is that an oxygen mask? Like Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet? It looks like it's connected to a thermos of some sort, so probably not. Nevermind.
 
Thanks, Quercus, Trusylver, and MrVee! :) That's the flip top cap to my cool purple water bottle. Although, an oxygen mask would have been helpful. lol.
 
Thanks, mrxian! :)

195.2 this morning! I'm only .2 away from being where I was before the holiday. That's 4 lbs lost this week.

Today is the last day of my kids' winter vacation from school. I love having them home, but I can't wait for things to go back to the normal routine. Everything has been out of whack for two weeks, and I feel like I haven't gotten anything done. Plus they're just driving me crazy. haha! :willy_nilly:

As a techy in a school, I'd like to say you keep them! :) It's been nice and quiet the last week at work without students! :D Get much more work done!

And congrats on the 4lb loss, That's a nice amount to put xmas food behind your progress!

That is soooo not happening. I'll be dropping them off at school on Monday morning with a huge ass smile on my face. haha! .... and Thanks! :)


Forgot to add earlier that my calories for yesterday were 1350. Today is going pretty good as well. I'm having Subway for dinner tonight. I've been wanting it all day. So, I'm looking forward to that. YUM!!
